Eden Hazard has talked candidly about his disastrous transfer to Real Madrid and his struggles at the club.
The Belgian moved from Chelsea in 2019 for a record-breaking £89 million, but he failed to meet the high standards set for him.
The Chelsea legend never appeared to be able to keep healthy while in the Spanish city, with injuries playing a role in his performance.
He made just 76 appearances under Carlo Ancelotti, contributing seven goals and twelve assists before retiring at the young age of 32.

In an interview via Reddit, he said, “It was my dream club. I think I was a bit unlucky [with the time I arrived] with COVID. If you wanna know the real story, I went to Dallas for surgery, and then I came back to Madrid, it was COVID.
“Two months or two-and-a-half months, I was home alone with no physio to do the rehab. If I could choose one thing to change, I’d have called the doctor to get a physio, because when COVID finished, I pushed my body like crazy, but my ankle wasn’t the same, and then I break everything the season after.”
